Mozilla Firefox, the popular alternative to Internet Explorer, caused a major upheaval among the web community with its original release, but apart from minor changes, visual improvements and security fixes, there haven’t been a wide range of new features since the original 1.x release.
This is all about to change, with the forthcoming release of Firefox 2.0, planned for August 2006.

This is beta 1 and the first public release of Firefox 2.0, along with a snapshot of the forthcoming new features. It must be noted that this is only a beta and should be used for testing-purposes only.

Most themes and extensions written for FF 1.x will not work with 2.0. Mozilla plans to release a new theme when 2.0 goes Gold.

Among the new 2.0 features are anti-phishing support, determining whether a site is valid or a fake site set up for the purposes of obtaining your personal information.

Other new features include enhanced tabbed browsing, the ability to open tabs closed accidentally, spell checking within web forms, a search plugin manager, combined and enhanced Add-Ons manager and much more, including support for new web standards.

Note that you can install Firefox 2.0 beta 1 alongside your existing 1.5.x set up, although keep 2.0 beta 1 for testing purposes only.

You can download Linux and Mac OS X versions from the Mozilla website.

I read (in the newspaper I think) that both Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2 have password issues, and that it's become easier for people to steal your password off them, because they have the option to remember your password for you....something like that. But yeah I'm sticking to Firefox 1.5
